I think I know the space you mention, think it used to be something else years ago then was just empty doing nothing. It's a weird afterthought space, but I bet literally all they could come up with that was not being used. As it's all open to the airport terminal ceiling it will be very noisy...

Hazy as everyone was smoking Dennis? :) In All photos I've seen of up there, everyone looked to be puffing on a cig. I'd have been smoking too in those days!

I was excited when I read this that hopefully they would update the 777 to WEL with a product that features PE, but no :( If they did I would give them all my business to Asia and Melbourne in a second. So bored of the AirNZ A320s and the tired Jetconnect 737s.

Hello, any AusFF members have any thoughts on the 777-300 Skycouch? Considering it for 2 adults and a small child. I'm quite tall though so thinking its going to suck for me and i'll end up sitting upright anyways :) But for the wife and kid it looks a great idea and only $200 extra. Lots of...

I flew JAL's 767 HND-cough in "Business". Their domestic business is basically seat only, I think I got served a cup of soup as the meal :) What also surprised me was that every single window shade was down from gate to gate, no requirement from the FA's to raise them for takeoff\landing. It was...

I've found after a few years of business travel that much like being loyal to a brand of hotel because you crave the consistancy, you are loyal to your airline lounge because it becomes like a second home. Its a familiar place to shower, change, eat, work, charge and relax. You know what to...

I would be so keen to see the A330 come to Wellington. One of the reasons I moved my business flying to Air NZ was being so sick of their 737, I totally prefer the premium seats on the A320 even if they don't offer a real J as such. The food, service and IFE is just as good. Probably be...

I've never bothered but is the Singapore airlines lounge next door any good or worth a look? Same with the Etihad one near McDonalds, its always been closed when I walk past.

Its nearly always jammed of late. Good spread of breakfast is true. I love the chorizo.

Awesome thanks! Will try use them up for PE to J on my next trip to Taipei via Hong Kong.

Hi all, On a flight last week my seatmate who was Elite told me when his 2 Gold recognition upgrades were "lost" when he achieved Elite and received 2 more. As in he thought he would have 4 in total after the new status but only had 2 if that makes sense. Same is about to happen to me soon, so...

Classic stall :( RIP

Its been an interesting thread to realise some people actually do advocate "active" intervention (prodding, shaking awake shusshing etc) wheras others would advocate a more passive response like asking FAs to help. A few would just grin and bear it....or like me seem to be the ones who snore so...

Wow. Have to say I wasnt expecting so many people to say the snorer should be woken up or go see their doctor. I dont have sleep apnea, I wake up very refreshed in the morning and I am not overweight. Yeah, I sank a few coughtails before the flight so i'm guessing that was the reason. My...

Can only speak about Air NZ but their food, wine and service will be top notch. In my view way better then QF or AA. Never flown China Southern except years ago in Y which was a terrible experience :) The IFE is also excellent. You may love or hate the Air NZ J seat arrangement. I find it a...

OK so I was fast asleep in J on QF12, I think about 8 hours into the flight. Cabin dark, mostly silent and obviously totally dark. I was in that weird kind of half sleep due to the plane constantly bumping around in some light turbulance, and also due to the fact I'm pretty tall and the seat was...

On the subject of being collected in a wide variety of Ubers... Got to Perth one day and was met with a very happy driver...in a Suzuki Swift! They're great little fun cars but I was like "where do I put my suitcase dude?". Down came the back seat. Seriously thought a Swift was too small for...

Wow. Incredible someone would try this on a Aus-US flight. I wonder what the outcome was, we were not met by cops at LAX, unless they went to the downstairs door.

Can any crew or people in the know explain what three "Bing-Bong" chimes mean on an Airbus? Is it some kind of urgent signal to the crew? I know one "Bing-Bong" is a call to the crew from the flightdeck, or the internal calls to their phones to report doors closed, slides armed etc etc, but...

Yep 6K I meant. Turned out to be a great seat except as you say row A would have been better as you won't be as likely to keep making awkward eye contact with travellers across from you. I had read the 787 J seat is narrow but I felt fine and am very tall and broad. Got a great sleep. I must say...
